What is the mass of a 4900N bobsled?

To find the mass of the bobsled, you can use the formula: mass = force of gravity / acceleration due to gravity. If the bobsled has a weight of 4900N, and acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, you can calculate the mass using the formula: mass = 4900N / 9.81 m/s^2. The mass of the bobsled would be approximately 499 kg.
